US star joined campaign for Kaavan to be moved from Islamabad zoo accused of substandard care
An elephant described as the worlds loneliest has landed in Cambodia after a seven-hour flight from Pakistan, receiving a warm welcome from Cher, who will accompany him to a sanctuary housing potential mates.
The case of Kaavan an overweight, 36-year-old bull elephant prompted global uproar from animal rights groups, who petitioned for him to be moved from an Islamabad zoo accused of substandard care and conditions.
His cause was boosted by a social media campaign from Cher, who travelled to Pakistan to see him off.
